Our AdvocatesMake It Possible

There is no other event quite like the Pride Celebration in the Nation’s Capital and no other event brings together so many people in our region. In 2018 we welcomed over 600,000 guests to our Pride Parade, Festival and Concert alone.

We seek support from advocates who affirm and support our unique message of celebrating the diversity of our community, challenging discrimination, and working toward full equality for LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. By supporting Capital Pride Alliance, specifically the Pride Celebration in the Nation’s Capital, you gain access to a large and diverse audience on a regional, national, and international stage.

Tito’s Handmade Vodka

Tito’s Handmade Vodka is produced in Austin at Texas’ oldest legal distillery. We make it in batches, use old-fashioned pot stills, and taste-test every batch. Tito’s Handmade Vodka is designed to be savored by spirit connoisseurs and everyday drinkers alike. Our process, similar to those used to make fine single malt scotches and high-end French cognacs, requires more skill and effort than others, but it’s well worth it.
